Beside The Sea Holidays is a family-run holiday letting agency specialising in beautiful coastal stays in Camber Sands, East Sussex. We’re Richard & Sophie, hands-on local hosts who look after a small, carefully chosen collection of holiday cottages and beach houses in Camber - the perfect base for dunes, sea air, big skies and proper “shoes off, straight to the beach” holidays.
Camber is famous for its wide sandy beach and rolling dunes, and our properties are all about making the most of that setting: relaxed, comfortable homes where you can truly switch off. Whether you’re planning a romantic break, a family beach holiday, or a few days of fresh-air dog walks and cosy evenings in, we’ll help you find a place that fits.
What makes us different is how personal and practical we are. We don’t just list homes - we actively care for them. From presentation and pricing through to housekeeping, maintenance coordination and guest support, we’re involved at every step. Guests get friendly, human communication (no call centres, no copy-and-paste scripts), and owners know their property is being looked after as if it were our own.
Many of our Camber homes are dog-friendly and family-friendly, because we know the best seaside breaks often include muddy paws, sandy wellies, and that post-beach appetite that needs feeding quickly! Expect well-equipped kitchens, comfy beds, cosy living spaces, and thoughtful touches that make travelling with children (or dogs) easier.
To help guests make the most of their stay, we share local recommendations that go beyond the obvious - where to walk when you want something quieter, the best places for sunrise, and simple ideas for rainy days when the beach isn’t playing ball. Many of our properties include digital guidebooks packed with tips, FAQs and clear instructions, so you can spend less time figuring things out and more time enjoying your holiday.
If you’re looking for a well-looked-after Camber Sands break with warm, local hosts and a collection of homes chosen for comfort, ease and that “we could stay a bit longer” feeling, you’re in the right place.
